The Longest Vista SP1 Installation
I have good relationships with computers. I make them happy and they make me happy. With Windows Home Server (WHS) I have much strong feeling, she happy 
and I am happy. She worries 
and I immediately check why.
She has problems
I don't sleep well.
My son's computer is an old Pentium 4 1.7 GHz with 1GB RAM and Window Vista. It worked well for his needs (Watching TV and Movies with Media Center). Two weeks ago I installed Service Pack one on it. I left the computer and when I got back I saw a disturbing message from the BIOS that actually told me, your 160 GB main hard drive is dead. I had not got the time to check it until today. I checked the disk on another machine and it is totally dead. This is when I asked the WHS to be nice and to make me happy. I replaced the old broken hard disk with a new one that I had (a bigger and newer) and put the WHS Recovery CD in the drive. The system booted from the CD, asking me to enter the WHS password. It recognized the computer and with just few clicks and one hour later the computer booted with the new disk. Here was the surprise; It continued installing Vista SP1 from Stage 3, while telling me not to turn off the computer!!! (It was turned off for two weeks by now). The SP1 finished its installation and I got a working computer. I am happy again and so does the WHS.
